Also a Microsoft MVP, she focuses on making enterprise models practical rather than just experimental, sharing her findings through IEEE papers and technical blogs. Currently, she develops tools to catch infinite loops and token bloat before they ruin engineering budgets. Her recent work dives into building runtime cost control planes for LLMs, showing teams how to enforce policies at the SDK level and prevent runaway agent spend. ## Upcoming Sessions ### Conference India 2026 ยท November 25, 2026 Bengaluru, India - [Your AI Agents Are Bleeding Tokens: Building a Runtime Cost Control Plane for LLMs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/conference-india-2026/sessions/2066-your-ai-agents-are) ## Links - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/aakritiaggarwal13/)
